When it comes to an eclectic decorating style, know that your eye needs a place to rest. "Keep some spaces on shelves and tables empty, and consider the outline of an array of artwork for an interesting shape of the wall behind," Adams says. "It’s not just about what you display. Sometimes it’s about what you leave out."
There's no need to put your entire collection on display all at once. To maintain an environment that's full of character, Adams prefers to mix things up. "Edit to just your favorite few, and rotate the pieces for variety or seasonally," she says.
When planning out an eclectic style space, it's easy to get caught up in which colors, textures, and patterns will bring the look together. However, don't forget about placement. "I think layout is one of the most important things in a room, more than the color or the fabrics," says Konig. "
The layout of the furniture is what will make it comfortable and feel like a room you want to be in." Before you start purchasing decor for the room, nail down where each piece of furniture will go. You may find you actually don't have space for that quirky floor lamp or 19th-century chest.
When you arrange your layout, remember: Though eclectic style does involve combining styles and periods through a wide variety of items, the curated look shouldn't lack focus. Joybird suggests creating a focal point (or accentuating an existing one) with an eye-catching element — say, an accent wall, fireplace, or bold decorative item.
